Whats your height?
A: I look 6'

What is your real height?
A: I need to look 6' and I look that tall at office.

What is your height without shoes?
A: You don't need me to stand without shoes. And I will stand 6' tall with shoes. So why do you ask my real height?

We need to know how tall you are without shoes.
A: You need me to look 6' and I do.


....You're rejected because your real height is less than 6'
